M'Vila to Join Podolski in London

London club, Arsenal, could soon be welcoming Rennes midfielder, Yann M’Vila, to the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners are reportedly in “advanced negotiations”, to quote the Telegraph, with the 21-year-old.

The news comes just a few days after Arsene Wenger confirmed the signing of German striker, Lukas Podolski, from Bundesliga outfit, FC Koln. The Gunners are believed to have paid £11m for the former Bayern Munich player.

M’Vila will become the most expensive player to have ever graced the grass at Arsenal, when he joins the club at the end of the season; the Premier League outfit forked out an estimated £17.7m for the 26-year-old. Get great odds on Premier League at www.betvictor.com.

Previously, Andrei Arshavin was the Gunners’ biggest outlay, costing £15m in 2009. The Russian is currently on loan at his first club, Zenit St. Petersburg, a move that some fans will consider long overdue. 

M’Vili, a French international, was linked with a move to the Emirates back in 2011. However, Wenger’s advances were snubbed by Rennes, who wanted to keep the 107-cap holding midfielder in France for another season.

Arsenal are desperate to install a defensively minded player in the centre of the park, to support (and provide cover for) Alex Song. Francis Coquelin and Emmanuel Frimpong, other potential candidates for the holding role in Arsenal’s ranks, are too inexperienced.

Javi Martinez, of Athletic Bilbao, was another of Wenger’s targets for winter transfer window. The player impressed during Los Leones' most recent Europa League campaign, featuring in the two matches against Manchester United.

The signing of M’Vila and Podolski will no doubt come as a relief to long-suffering fans of the Gunners, who have watched their club flounder behind the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea, in recent seasons.Voice your opinion on Arsenal's future; bet on football through Bet Victor.

Whether Dutch talisman, Robin van Persie, will be around long enough to play alongside Arsenal’s new boys remains to be seen.
